Dodgers signed RHP David Aardsma to a minor league contract with an invitation to spring training.

Aardsma broke the news himself via Twitter. The veteran reliever spent all of last season at Triple-A with the Cardinals, boasting a 1.46 ERA with 38 strikeouts over 37 innings. He'll compete for one of the final spots in the Dodgers' bullpen. Feb 15 - 4:01 PM

David Aardsma reached 92 mph during a throwing session for teams on Monday.

Steve Adams of MLB Trade Rumors reports that 18 scouts were in attendance. Aardsma had a 1.46 ERA with 38 strikeouts in 37 innings with the Cardinals' Triple-A affiliate last season, but he also missed some time with a torn adductor muscle. He's expected to make a decision on where to sign soon. Feb 11 - 11:30 AM

Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports reports that David Aardsma will throw a bullpen session for interested teams in Tempe on Monday.

Aardsma's agent, Jamie Murphy, stated that his client is "looking to showcase added velocity after a change in mechanics and an extremely intense offseason workout regimen." The former closer has dealt with a wide array of injuries in recent years, appearing in just 44 games since the end of the 2010 season. If healthy, he makes for an intriguing low-risk signing for teams in need of bullpen depth. Jan 31 - 9:47 AM

David Aardsma (groin) has been activated from the disabled list at Triple-A Memphis.

Aardsma had been out since June following surgery for a torn abductor muscle. The veteran right-hander was off to a great start at Triple-A before the injury and could join the Cardinals' bullpen in early September. Wed, Aug 20, 2014 05:57:00 PM

The move clears a 40-man roster spot for Dustin McGowan, who was signed to a one-year contract this weekend. Beachy is working his way back from a second Tommy John surgery and probably won't be an option for the Dodgers' rotation until early June.

Kenley Jansen has been fitted with a walking boot on his surgically-repaired left foot.

He'll be able to put some weight on the foot now after walking on crutches the last 10 days. Jansen will wear the walking boot for 3-4 weeks before being allowed to resume activity. He's likely to miss the first month of the season.

This is nothing more than a procedural move to open a spot on the 40-man roster for Brandon Beachy who was signed on Saturday. Withrow is currently recovering from Tommy John surgery and isn't expected back until around midseason.
